[mythtv-users] DVD Ripping Error

[Kevin Stussman]

Ha. I forgot to mention that.

Yeah, I tried it, the hard drive did something, waited about 10-20
seconds but the message was still there...so I figured it was still
failing.

I also checked /var/log/mythtv/* and didn't find any obvious error
messages.
